>>>no other property damage but my car
Actually, the reason they didn't pay is AAA doesn't tow cars for free
that are incapacitated due to an accident. I've had a couple of
different tow drivers tell me this as we are exchanging stories
during the tow. (as a part-time mechanic we usually start a pretty
good conversation on the tow to my house, which usually seems to be
at least 15 miles.) AAA covers only mechanical breakdowns, flat
tires, out of gas, etc. Incidentally, I have AAA Gold, as my house
is 15 miles from where I work, and I always want my car towed to my
house. They never send a flatbed here, even when requested. I think
I'd have to wait another hour for them to send a different truck if I
ever really needed one. (My full-time 4wd Jeep CJ7 needed a tow once,
but it was only 3 miles, and I put the transfer case in neutral,
which seemed to be OK, as it still works.)
